Several video interviews and one in person meeting before an offer was made. Both remote and on campus. Easy interview experience with Stanford. Offer was well below market rate for area.

Question 1
Do you have any children who will be going to college in the somewhat near future? We have below average salaries but you can have your child’s tuition covered at US colleges if you stay here for at least 5 years and then while they are in college.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Stanford University (Palo Alto, CA) in Apr 2024
Interview
I was disappointed after dedicating significant time to the hiring process, which included a screening call, HR discussion, completing an assignment, and speaking with my potential supervisor. Despite investing around four hours writing a comprehensive article and meeting three team members, I received a generic rejection email from an automated system. Given the personal connections made and effort expended, a personalized phone call would have been appreciated

Interview
Had a quick call after a recruiter reached out. Was clear to both of us it was not a great fit but the recruiter was kind and provided great insight into the role.
